Do not touch or allow the wires from your motor to touch together once you have turned your motor into a generator. Electricity can cause serious, sometimes fatal injuries. Always use caution when working with electricity. Your permanent magnet electric motor can be used as a generator. All th...
How does light behave as a particle? How do tractor beams work? How is a magnetic field created? How are quantum entanglement and superposition related? How does a generator work? Why do magnets do no work? What is electromagnetism and how does it work?
Another major benefit of using a AC to DC converter is that it is much more efficient than other options. A DC to AC converter will convert almost all of the energy input into usable power, while other options, like a gas generator, will waste a lot of energy as heat. Finally, a AC...
This will cover rewinding of an alternator stator for use in a wind turbine generator. Traditionally, the use of car alternators is discouraged in favor of homemade slow running axial flux generators. However I bought a small Hitachi alternator for 1/3 of the price of one rare earth N35 Neo...
The video demonstrates how phase currents and phase voltages can be measured from the model and how to optimize simulation speed and accuracy with the right solver choice. Learn how to model components like PI controllers, Park and Clarke transforms, space vector PWM generator, and model re...
Although many of us have learned how a basic motor works, from simple science books and web pages such as this, many of the motors we use everyday—in everything from factory machines to electric trains—don't actually work that way at all. What the books teach us about are simple ...
One way to get electricity flowing is to use a generator. Holy Electricity In the late 19th century, electricity truly had a noble or even divine reputation -- to the extent that members of the scientific community protested the idea of the electric chair as a degradation of both electricity...
Ensuring the performance of automotive electronic control units (ECUs) requires rigorous testing against various operational conditions to meet compliance. Learn how autoranging power supplies can help ensure the automotive ECU power performance is relia
His use of a 3-phase motor from a CD-ROM drive as the generator isn’t particularly unexpected, these motors are ubiquitous and readily generate power when spun up. A simple 3-phase rectifier and a capacitor delivers a DC voltage that while the ready availability of switching converter module...
Describe how a motor works. Explain Newton's second law of motion and illustrate it with an example. What is the basic similarity between a generator and an electric motor? How are the shapes of the equipotential surfaces related to those for the electrodes?
